Trigger

Channel Message Received

Action

List All Sessions Status

Tool to list the status of all active browser sessions. use after authenticating when you need to retrieve an up-to-date overview of all sessions.

Why this helps

When work spans browser sessions, uncertainty about what is still running creates follow-up messages and mental overhead.

  • Get a current session overview from a Slack request.
  • Reduce back-and-forth when checking whether browser work is active.
  • Make session status easier to inspect during team coordination.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Anchor browser to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to retrieve active Anchor browser session status when a channel message requests a status check.
  • 3Describe the status-check wording or context in one plain-language instruction.
  • 4Pick the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should appear.
  • 5Test by posting a real session-status question in the selected channel.

Questions about this workflow

Does this report session status for every message?

The prompt should describe the messages that represent a status request. The selected Anchor action lists the status of active sessions.

Does it include inactive sessions?

This action provides the status overview of active sessions. Use a different workflow if you need the full session list, including inactive ones.
